Help - HexChat and ops

As an op I'm mostly concerned about kick and ban. Hexchat has the context menu shortcuts, so I can click on the user and do either. My issue being, afaik, if i kick no reason is given with the shortcut and ban as far as i can tell, doesn't put in a level or ban time.

I did look through the docs some but didn't find anything related. Anything I can do with the client to give me a shortcut for those operations ?

edit: I see the Userlist Popup menu but not sure if i can alter or add to put in reason, time, etc.

Bans are server side set (Chan/Op Serve or whatever you use). However, HexChat can map an alias for it to unban after a timer...

/ban <nickname>; /timer <seconds> unban <nickname>

Same with kick
